tonplus Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Ok, bit of a rant so be warned. Just mud weighted in South Walsham broad for lunch loads of space when Xxxxxxxxxxx from xxxxxxxxx comes in right in front of us drops his mud weight and then sods off on a yacht. If we hadn't moved out of the way his boat would have swung round and hit us, the only reason I didn't have s go directly is that he had his wife and kids with him....and my wife told me not to! Ok rant over! Edited May 30, 2021 by Maxwellian Edited to avoid breaking ToS “naming and shaming” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annv Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Probably thinking he was parking his car and didn't realize that it will rotate around the weight with wind/tide and as was picked up was rushing. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesey69 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Happens all the time when anchoring in a deserted bay. Bang. Everyone starts dropping hooks around you. it my be humans like to flock together. The thing is some boats catch the wind differently and turn at different rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyg Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I'm sure it wasn't done on purpose, inexperienced crew etc etc. You obviously saw them come in, I'd of pointed out to them they were to close and why before they dropped their mudweight. Always good to offer a helping hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are saying an experienced crew moored their boat in a position knowing it would potentially collied with your boat..wow that's one big assumption, that said I would of still pointed out to them their mistake. You don't need eye contact to make your point vocally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
